Length that Recorded Video Can Be Stored Based on Video Settings
An operator may need to determine how far back in time that video, audio and data can be
obtained from video storage. Video storage capacity is determined by adjusting various
video settings (see
Customizing Settings for Recorded Video
provides a Storage Estimator with the Rapid Eye Admin and View software to show the
approximate length of a unit’s video storage, based on that unit’s video settings.
Caution
High settings in combination with many cameras can shorten a unit’s
video storage from many weeks to a few days (see
). If the
storage capacity is too small for your needs, lower the resolution and
frame rate of continuous recording.
Storage Process: Video, Audio, Data
Recordings of video, audio and data are not permanent. When a unit’s storage fills, the
oldest recorded video, audio and data are replaced with more recent recordings. The
amount of time that recordings are available is known as the length of the video storage.
More cameras, high recording rates, high resolution and quality settings, all contribute to
shorten the video storage capacity on a unit. Scheduling can also lengthen video storage.

Storage Estimator
TIP!
Use the Rapid Eye Storage Estimator to forecast the length of a unit’s video storage.
Combinations of extremely high values should only be assigned to Event Recording.
Select the
type of Rapid
Eye unit and
software
version you
are using to
estimate
storage with.
